VICTORY: a 3D search engine over P2P and wireless P2P networks

ABSTRACT

Our information society is being overflowed with digital data of various kinds. In order for the users to find relevant information, novel digital repositories should provide search mechanisms that are both content and context based, facilitating the formulation of queries and enabling search by example using 3D/2D objects, sketches, etc. At the same time the repositories should scale to the growing number of users. This paper presents the main achievements of the IST project VICTORY that aims at developing an innovative distributed digital repository introducing novel search, retrieval, and visualization capabilities to a desktop and mobile P2P networks.
